Volleyball Defeats Franciscan, Finishes PAC Schedule Undefeated

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – The Allegheny volleyball team swept Franciscan on the road Saturday (Nov. 8) in Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) play as they finished the regular season with a perfect 10-0 conference record.
 
The Gators won the sets 25-23, 25-21 and 25-14.
 
Allegheny's 10-0 conference record grants them the top-seed in the 2024 PAC Championship Tournament. It also marks the first time they finished the regular season with a perfect conference mark since the 1994 season when they went 8-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC).
 
The Gators held a 12-9 lead in the opening set before a 5-0 Franciscan run put them in front, 14-12. Following a timeout, the Gators tied it up at 14 as the back-and-forth set continued. The Gators gained a small lead off a 3-0 run late in the set before a kill by Angelee Bawek (Goodyear, Ariz./Estrella Foothills) gave them a 25-23 first set win.
 
Similar to the opening set, the second set saw the teams trading points early on before a 3-0 run gave Allegheny a 13-10 advantage. Soon after, a 4-1 run pushed the Gator lead to 17-13. The Barons fought back late in the set, but it was not enough as Allegheny won it 25-21.
 
Early in the third set, a 4-0 Gator run gave them the lead, 10-6. The Gators continued to put together small runs before ending the set on a 6-0 run to collect the conference victory.
